The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Michael is located in the Marnbach district of the district town of Weilheim in Upper Bavaria . The listed church belongs with the parish community Weilheim to the dean's office Weilheim-Schongau in the diocese of Augsburg . The address is Kirchstrasse 2 .

history

In 1324 , Auxiliary Bishop Walter von Augsburg consecrated a church and a cemetery in Marnbach. Marnbach belonged to the parish of Bernried since around 1300 . In 1479 the local monastery exchanged the place with the Polling monastery for Seeshaupt . In 1514, Auxiliary Bishop Heinrich von Augsburg rededicated the church and an altar in honor of the Archangel Michael after renovating the choir .

Due to the great dilapidation, the nave was rebuilt between 1673 and 1686 under Caspar Feichtmayr . Parts of the equipment of this conversion, such as figures, are still preserved today. In 1800/02 the interior was redesigned, the side altars and the pulpit are by Lukas Troger. As a result of the secularization in Bavaria , Marnbach came to the parish Eberfing in 1802 as a branch . In 1884 the church received a new gallery including an organ .

In 1917, the Marnbach branch was elevated to an independent parish with the St. Johann branch church in Deutenhausen in the Augsburg diocese .

In 1972 the cemetery was expanded and a morgue was built. Between 1989 and 1992 the church was completely renovated . This came to the parish community in Weilheim in the 2010s .

The Munich organ builder Franz Borgias Maerz built a new organ in St. Michael in 1884 with six registers on a manual and pedal . The instrument with cone chest and mechanical playing and stop action has the following disposition :

manual
Principal 8th'
Covered 8th'
Salicional 8th'
Gemshorn 4 ′
Mixture III 2 ′
pedal
Sub-bass 16 ′

In 1917 the pewter prospect pipes had to be delivered due to the war . In 1948 a restoration took place, in 1960 the air supply was electrified and in 1991 Riegner & Friedrich restored the organ again.
